Breathing easy??? Man, when I did the first reduction in Astroart for the Cats Paw shot I litterally ran around the house saying "it works, it works it works" it made the family laugh and the excitment was making me feel sick!
, in this shot the stars were almost perfect across 100% of the frame - likely a function of mirror shift and flexure adding up positively.
Getting perfect stars across 100% of the field is certainly going to be a challenge with this scope design coupled to a massive chip and as Peter suggests, like other high end scopes (even Peter and Greg have had issues in thsi department) I'm not sure it will even be possible across the whole sky? I will tweek again but I have to say so far the levels of residule star image issues shouldn't proclude some speccy shots in the near future
